Brush High School - Sagebrush Yearbook (Brush, CO)

Nineteen members of the Journalism Staff divided their time between publishing the newspaper and pub- lishing the yearbook. Under the editing of Cynthia von Riesen, fifty pages of SAGEBRUSH REPORTER were sent to press during the school year. The yearbook, which consisted of 136 pages, was headed by George Sears. In addition to the regular activities of the staff, eleven students of journalism traveled to Colorado State University to attend J-Days, a news writing, news edit- ing, and yearbook layout workshop. Mr. Thomas Woolley was the advisor and other edi- tors included: Bonnie Herrmann, copy editor and Merrie Wankelman and Curtis Clark, sports editors. Cynthia von Riesen, editor, checks copy for the Sagebrush Reporter. Yearbook pages start out on the drawing board, and Kathy Karpe is shown planning those assigned to her. George Sears checks year- book pages for possible errors. J-STAFF RECORDS NEWS, MEMORIES Lack of room proved to be the main problem this year, and many students found that unless they were quick to dash to the few available seats, they were left standing. Next year the staff is moving into larger quarters. At left, Linda Schilling finds that typing is a needed skill for journalism students.

ACTIVITIES FILL 64- 65 SCHOOL YEAR The KLZ men covered the Diggers’ State Tournament games for their documentary on Brush. The documentary was shown on Monday night, March 15. Climaxing the football season were the Homecoming activities. On the night before the game the annual snake dance, pep assembly, and bonfire were held. The seniors took top honors with their float in the Homecom- ing parade. On the night of October 2, Brush lost its Homecoming game to the Yuma Indians. Carol Hergen- reter was crowned Homecoming Queen and was attended by Shari Uhlenhopp, Jean Watrous, and Ruth Bostrom. The Digger basketball players came through the season by winning all their games except their second encounter with Yuma, which they dropped 55-49. In the AA State Basketball Tournament, the Diggers defeated Glenwood Springs, Salida, and Highland to bring home the championship trophy. Larry Skinner crowns Carol Hergenreter at the Homecom- ing game. Junior girls dance at Sweetheart Dance. Prom Queen and attendants start spotlight dance after crowning ceremony. For the first time, Stu- dent Council’s annual Christmas assembly was a program of student talent performances. In addition to several instrumental mu- sic presentations, Mr. Woolley's choir class sang Christmas songs. Also, the seniors gave the annual nativity on December 17. On May 17, BHS's first Digger Day, each class en- tered two teams in both the volleyball and softball tour- naments. Junior teams placed first in both events, but later lost their volley- ball title to the faculty team. Jane Mitchell helps with Christmas decorations.
